A Place for Things

I see I’ve gotten a few new followers over the last few months. Welcome!

This was originally just a blog to dump thoughts but since people have taken interest… What sort of content do you all like to see?

Some of you might have noticed that the new Studio Killers album became available yesterday. It is fun, lighthearted, brainless music that falls directly into the category of “stuff I’d totally dance to if I ever danced.” I don’t dance, not ever, but this is what I’d dance to if I did.

The album seems a little short at 40 minutes but there aren’t really any songs that I’d skip past (I’m looking at you, Daft Punk’s Touch). A solid listen all the way through. As my second pass at the album came to an end, I noticed something lurking in the back of my brain, scurrying about with a little red flag clutched tightly to its chest.

The lettering on the flag read “This is making you uncomfortable.”

If we ran a universe simulation in which a human-comparable sentience developed, would it be ethical to at any point turn off the computer running that simulation? Under what conditions would it be or not be ethical?

I’ve had cause recently to spend a lot of time thinking about how I think.

The phrase “train of thought” has never really struck home with me. I understand what it means to others but the metaphor just doesn’t relate to what’s happening in my head. For a long time I paid it no attention but recently new information has come to light that is shaping my how I understand myself. I’ll get to the “why” on that later but for now lets look at how I think, how I write and how I struggle to converse.
